RTITB AND END-POINT ASSESSMENT FOR THE LOGISTICS INDUSTRY
We are logistics industry specialists, and we only work in the logistics sector. The team who developed and deliver our End-Point Assessment (EPA) services are the same team who deliver the rest of our assessments and accreditation services for transport drivers and warehouse workers. It’s likely we already work with your training and development team and we have a good understanding of what services we can provide based on your job roles.
We are assessment specialists. We don’t deliver apprentice training, so our focus is solely on developing fair, consistent, and above all, efficient assessments for you and your apprentices.
Our assessors are from the sector. All our EPA Assessors are existing RTITB team members and are experienced in assessing LGV drivers and warehouse operatives in a range of operational contexts.
We are on the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) Register of EPA Organisations to deliver End-Point Assessments for:
ST0257 Large goods vehicle (LGV) drivers
ST0259 Supply chain warehouse operatives

Each standard has a specific End-Point Assessment (EPA) plan. An EPA plan first sets out the specific assessment gateway requirements for that standard, which must be met before an apprentice can take an EPA.
The End-Point Assessment must be carried out by an EPA Organisation (EPAO) who are approved by the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) and are on the Register of EPA Organisations. The EPAO must be independent of the employer and the training provider, and must have played no part in on-programme training.
RTITB only deal with the End-Point Assessment, and RTITB End-Point Assessors carry out EPAs strictly in accordance with the EPA plan.
END-POINT ASSESSMENT (EPA)
To pass the gateway, the employer and training organisation must agree that the apprentice has completed 12 months of on-programme training, gained the required knowledge, skills and behaviours and reached the required standard in English and Maths. A decision can be reached by the use of tests to assess knowledge, skills or behaviours, but these do not form part of the EPA. RTITB have no role in the gateway process, but before we can conduct an EPA, we must have confirmation that the apprentice has passed the gateway.
An EPA plan then sets out the format and content of the End-Point Assessment for the Apprenticeship Standard. This assessment specification efficiently and effectively allows apprentices to demonstrate that they have the required knowledge, skills and behaviours set out in the Apprenticeship Standard.

HOW TO BOOK AN RTITB EPA
Step
1Choose RTITB as your EPAOThe process starts when an employer makes the decision to use RTITB to deliver End-Point Assessments for their current group of apprentices.
Employers do this by completing the EPAO Employer Confirmation Form (Appendix 1)
This form tells RTITB: Which apprenticeship standard or standards the employer wants us to assess their apprentices against• Who the lead training provider or employer training provider is• Who is delivering on-programme training for these standards• The expected number of apprentices • The intended dates for End-Point Assessment.
This general agreement to use RTITB as your EPAO enables RTITB to start planning and allocating resources, so when the employer knows that specific apprentices are ready for EPA (see Step 3 below), we can offer End-Point Assessment where and when it is needed.
Step
2Recording Training Provider Details on RTITB’s SystemAs the training provider plays a key role in arranging the EPA for employers’ apprentices, RTITB will gather details from each training provider chosen by the employer and included on the EPAO Employer Confirmation Form.
These details will be added to the RTITB database and will ensure the training provider is able to fulfil their roles and responsibilities within the EPA process – such as providing evidence that the apprentice has met the gateway requirements, ensuring proper facilities are provided for testing, and booking individual EPA tests.
Step
3Confirm that Gateway Requirements have been Met and Book End-Point Assessments for your Apprentice/sThis is the process of booking EPA dates for individual apprentices. At this stage of the booking process, the training provider must confirm the apprentice has met the gateway requirements and must contact RTITB for a preferred date for the EPA.
To ensure efficient planning of EPAs, you should aim to send this notification at least eight weeks before the preferred EPA date, allowing time to make all the necessary arrangements required for EPA delivery. However, we recognise that business issues and pressures can result in a need for EPAs at shorter notice, so with our in-house assessor team, we will endeavour to meet your timescales.Training providers do this by completing the Gateway Declaration and EPA Booking Request Form (Appendix 2)

Step
5Arranging and Confirming Delivery of EPAThe training provider will be contacted by the EPA team to discuss the potential EPA date, time and location and to confirm that the site, staff and resources required will be available.
Once the training provider has confirmed to RTITB that the location and resources are suitable, RTITB will confirm the date, time and location of the EPA on the EPA Requirements Confirmation Form (Appendix 3) and will send this form to the training provider. It is the training provider’s responsibility to check the information on the EPA Requirements Confirmation Form is correct and that the employer has agreed to make the apprentice available for the EPA.
This is done by the training provider confirming or amending the EPA Requirements Confirmation Form and returning it to RTITB within two working days of receipt.
Any requests to change arrangements received later than two working days after the EPA Requirements Confirmation Form has been finalised may be subject to an administration fee.
RTITB will then assign one of our assessors to the EPA (they may need to contact the customer and/or employer to agree further details where applicable). The first point of contact for the RTITB End-Point assessor will be the person named on the EPA Requirements Confirmation Form.
Accessing Reasonable Adjustments
Should the training provider and employer agree that an apprentice with disabilities requires ‘reasonable adjustments’ in compliance with the Equality Act 2010 to attempt their EPA, they should ensure they discuss this with the RTITB EPA team at this stage. Agreed adjustments will be recorded on the EPA Requirements Confirmation Form.
Step
4Gateway Confirmation Verified by RTITBBefore contacting the training provider to discuss EPA arrangements, the RTITB EPA team will review the information provided on the Gateway Declaration and EPA Booking Request Form. If there are any questions regarding information on the form, the EPA team will contact the training provider within five working days of receiving the form.
Booking will not proceed until RTITB is satisfied that all the gateway requirements have been met.
Once RTITB has checked and confirmed all gateway requirements have been met, the EPA team will proceed with the booking.

The EPA will take place at the date, time and site detailed in the final EPA Requirements Confirmation Form.
Knowledge and Behaviour Assessment
The assessment of knowledge and behaviours is carried out through a paper-based examination lasting 60 minutes. Each paper has short answer questions and scenario-based questions which require a longer written answer (examples of questions for both ST0257 and ST0259 can be found in Appendices 4 and 5).
Skills Assessment
The assessment of skills is carried out by observing the apprentice conducting workplace tasks. Through this observation, the RTITB Assessor will make a judgement on whether the apprentice is competent to carry out the practical aspects of their job role (the apprentice/s should be observed carrying out normal workplace duties that relate to the skill requirements of the apprenticeship standard).
In some settings, a simulated scenario may be more appropriate. In this situation, the apprentice should be given a task or job sheet as they would on a normal day. Proceeding this, a situation should be created in either their work environment or in an assessment centre, where they can demonstrate all required skills.
The RTITB End-Point Assessor will use an observation check list and marking sheet to ensure all learning outcomes have been met. The assessor could also ask questions to collect any evidence they have not been able to gather over the course of the assessment, so no apprentices are disadvantaged by the parameters of their job role. The assessor will use a standardised set of questions or prompts with each apprentice to make sure they can react to changing or unexpected situations.
The marking sheets used for ST0257 and ST0259 can be found in Appendix 4 and 5 respectively.
EPA Site Requirements
An EPA can take place at either the employer’s or training provider’s premises, or an alternative site agreed with RTITB. The EPA will only be carried out at the EPA site at the dates and times detailed on the final EPA Requirements Confirmation Form.
THE ASSESSMENT DAY

10Employers and Apprenticeship Training Providers - V2.1119
RTITB Apprenticeship End Point Assessment . Copyright © RTITB 2019. All rights reserved
The employer and training provider must ensure that:
• The RTITB Assessor, the apprentice and any other relevant parties have access to the EPA site, and all relevant equipment is available and accessible for the EPA
• The EPA site and all relevant equipment meets any requirements relevant for the EPA (such as health and safety and technical requirements)
• A contact is available who will be responsible for informing the RTITB Assessor of any fire evacuation procedures and how to report incidents.
Note that on the day of the EPA, the gateway evidence you have specified on the Gateway Declaration and EPA Booking Request Forms must be available for review by the RTITB End-Point Assessor as they may wish to confirm the information is correct.
If There is a Problem on EPA Day
The RTITB End-Point Assessor will ensure all the arrangements agreed between the EPA team and the training
provider are followed before the EPA begins. If there are any issues, the EPA may be cancelled or stopped.
There are a range of reasons why the EPA may not go ahead as planned. Some of these could be related to:
• The site not being available • The site not meeting the requirements or being unsuitable in other ways• Physical resources such as vehicles and/or equipment not being appropriate or available• Materials/consumables required by the apprentice not available • No or insufficient access to IT systems• Health and safety issues pertaining to the site and/or the equipment• The RTITB Assessor not able to confirm the identity of the apprentice.
Before a decision to cancel is made, the RTITB Assessor will contact the EPA team to discuss the specific issues and seek alternatives where possible.
If the EPA is stopped or cancelled, the EPA team will contact the lead training provider to discuss the reason(s) for the cancellation and reschedule where appropriate. Depending on the cause of the cancelled test, RTITB may require payment of the EPA fee in full or in-part.

Results and CertificationWhen all components of the EPA have been taken by the apprentice, the RTITB Assessor will submit these and any other relevant documents and reports to the RTITB EPA Manager. The internal quality assurance process will be followed with the assessment evidence, documents and reports being reviewed by the EPA Manager.
The final result will be agreed, and the grade will be recorded in the RTITB EPAO system (confirmation of the grade and recording this on the system should normally take 20 working days). Once the result is confirmed and entered onto the system, the RTITB Summary of EPA Assessment Results report will be sent to the apprentice’s employer.
RTITB will inform ESFA of the final grades for each apprentice following the ESFA’s certification process. Currently this requires RTITB to upload results on the fourth work-ing day of each month. The ESFA carries out validation checks on the certificate re-quests submitted by EPAOs to ensure the information from the EPAO and the lead training provider meets their requirements.Following successful validation, the ESFA will send the certificate to the apprentice’s employer by recorded delivery.
The ESFA have stated that following successful completion of the validation checks, the certificate will be issued between 15 and 17 working days.

FEES AND INVOICING
The current fees for RTITB End-Point Assessments can be found on the RTITB website or by enquiry to the RTITB EPA team. The EPA fees differ between apprenticeship standards; this reflects the specific and differing EPA requirements of each standard.
Where employers have a number of apprentices requiring EPA at the same time, RTITB has implemented a sliding cost structure which reduces the fee per apprentice (Appendix 6).
As with all EPAOs, RTITB EPA fees include a fixed fee for the External Quality Assurance (EQA) of EPA delivery. This fee is currently £50 for LGV and £64 for Supply Chain Warehouse Operative and is set by NSAR who are the EQA for both ST0257 and ST0259.
RTITB do not charge a booking fee for EPA. Within 7 working days of the EPA being carried out, the EPA delivery fee will be invoiced. Invoices will be sent to the training provider who has booked the EPA. RTITB payment terms are 30 days from invoice date.
Cancellation Fees
A booked EPA may need to be cancelled. If cancellation is required, the following guidance will be used in determining if a cancellation fee will be charged by RTITB.
If an EPA is cancelled by RTITB: The EPA will be rescheduled, and no additional delivery fee will be charged.
If an EPA is cancelled by the training provider:
If this is before the date of the EPA, then the training provider must contact the EPA Team by email – stating the reason for the cancellation and confirming if the EPA needs to be rescheduled. If this is on the day of the EPA before the RTITB Assessor has arrived, the training provider must call the EPA team, give the reason for cancellation and confirm if the EPA needs to be rescheduled.

If an EPA is cancelled by the RTITB Assessor:
On the day of the EPA, the RTITB Assessor may decide that the EPA cannot go ahead or needs to be stopped midway through. The RTITB Assessor will call the EPA team, provide the reason for cancellation and confirm if the EPA needs to be rescheduled. Depending on the circumstances, such cancellations may be subject to some, or all of, the EPA fee
Resit and Retake fees
Where the apprentice is graded a fail in all EPA components, the fees for resits and retakes (see Section 6) are the same, as the EPA tests are the same irrespective of whether they are for a resit or a retake. Apprentices have already been confirmed as having passed the gateway, so no confirmation process or additional fee relating to the gateway applies.
Where the apprentice is graded a fail in an individual component, please contact RTITB for resit/retake costs as this may differ depending on when the apprentice is reassessed. For example, if conducted in conjunction with other initial assessments (as part of the maximum number in either standard as stipulated in Appendix 6) or as an individual assessment.
